PAC FAQs

Q: When are meetings?A: Meetings are held the 3rd Thursdays of the month from 7-8:30pm.

Q: Where are meetings?A: Wilder Elementary School at 34th St and Chicago Ave S in Minneapolis.

Q: May I bring my child(ren)?A: Yes. Feel free to bring infants into meetings and nurse. Young children are welcome too. ECFE childcare is available for them—different room, same floor—but please reserve space in advance of the meeting by calling 612-668-3929 or 3927.

Q: Do PAC members get priority when signing up for ECFE classes?A: This is a great benefit for joining PAC! While PAC members are not guaranteed a spot in any class, they do move up the priority list.

Q: How do I become a member?A: Attendance at your 2nd PAC meeting plus a formal commitment to serve on a committee makes you an official member. Contact a membership chair to get your Welcome Packet and sign onto a committee. Then, connect with that committee chairperson. If it is impossible for you to attend meetings but you would still like to be involved, please contact the South PAC chair, Christy Pettis, at ecfesouthPAC@gmail.com to make special arrangements.

Q: May non-PAC members come to meetings?A: Absolutely. All parents—members or not—are welcome, can participate during open forum/check-in to raise concerns, and ask questions. We also encourage anyone to hear our guest speakers.
